    Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls - TRAP???
    The Bulls are a 2 point underdog at this matchup. Do you think the line is write? I know the Celtics have some injuries and play away. The Bulls without Deng are a good home team. But I think the line is too low. After the loss agains Milwaukee I think Boston have to win this. But I can't go with Boston here cause I smell some trap. Opinions?

    Its a good line. Celtics are suffering heavy losses due to injuries and the Bulls are playing their best basketball at home.

    due to the public swingin' at Boston, I might go heavy on the bulls.

      12/19/08 BOS 126 - CHI 108 Won by 18
      10/31/08 BOS 96 - CHI 80 by 16
      04/01/08 CHI 92 - BOS 106 by 14
      03/07/08 BOS 116 - CHI 93 by 13
      12/21/07 BOS 107 - CHI 82 by 25
      12/08/07 CHI 81 - BOS 92 by 11

      This will probably be an ugly game. Past six won by double digits.

      But with Garnett, House (might not play), Tony Allen, & Glen Davis out, there is a chance that is could be closer. Oh, did I mention Stephon Marbury sux azz? I'd still go with the Celtics for two reasons: It's a 2-point spread and HEY It's St. Patty's Day....Come on!

        Line smells bad...looks low/trappy. Possibly an over adjustment to the C's recent ats struggles and Chi's recent play at home but if the line were higher the books would be exposed to more sharp money pouring in on the Bulls imo.

          It's all matchups regardless. The Bulls could be 16-0 last 16 games but do they matchup well against the next team...here the Celtics. Usually no, but with the injuries I agree. Pass on the green on "greenday" and look at the colleges....and I live in Boston Gonna hit the pubs! GL!

            This is not a game you want to put ur money on.

            Can go both ways ... many have pointed out that the Cs lately have struggled ... and the Bulls are doing well at home. Therefore a 2 point difference can be seen as a 3 pointer at the buzzer.

              I'm on C's ml -118 for now...might hedge off once I get some rest and look over the game again. I usually like to bet against streaks as is...looks like it is heading to -1.5

                  Yep looks like that plan backfired on me...stuck with a bad number now. Didn't expect as much sharp action at the lower number.

                        It is worth a shot...even with injuries the Celtics are stil the better team. A few days rest and they should look good tonight. I look at it this way.... Would I be more pissed if I took the Bulls and the Celtics won? Or more pissed if I took the Celtics and the Bulls won? I will take my chances with the better team. GL G.

                            Can see that at Matchbook too, unusual high amounts available on Boston for that time of day.

                                First I was leaning on the Celtics. But after seeing this fishy line and the movement I'm on the Bulls now.

                                  f*ck I got owned on this one...knew the sharp money would be on the Bulls. Just made a bad call being sleep deprived and not thinking it all the way through. Oh well...Celts aren't going to slump forever.

                                          Bulls +2 -114 ...considering arbing out for a very small profit and moving over to the money line...this play makes me nervous

                                            I'm on Celtics tonight.. Let the GREEN clover win. For whatever reason I am really liking Orlando +6 tonight over Clev.. Got them on a parlay. Good Luck everyone.

                                              ok after doing more research on this game my lean is for chicago...peep this.......

                                              ...chicago on a 6 game win streak at home beating Orlando, Denver, Houston, & New Orleans..7-1 at home since February also beating detroit and losing to miami by 2

                                              since garnett has been out...Celts are 3-4 on the road losing to Utah, CLIPPERS, miami and Milwaukee

                                                      as nervous as it makes me, bulls is the right play here..... take the bulls or stay away......

                                                      "celtics are due for a bounce back after that loss in milwaukee".... I laughed when my buddy said this.... "you mean just like in january when they lost 3 in a row.....and then lost 4 or 5 more?" is what i replied.....

                                                      The only thing that is due is pregnant women and bills.... nothing else is due... I don't know who is said this, but it is too true and too brilliant....
